For those who aren’t familiar with the rivalry, here’s the gist of it…………. Background Charles Sheehan Miles is the author of several novels and a handful of short stories.

Yesterday, this article on Falkvinge.net reminded of a guest post I did on PirateWho about the value of creators – something the copyright debate tends to ignore. With PirateWho currently down, I’m republishing my guest post in full here: Dear Lady Justice, How are you? I ask because you seem a bit disoriented lately. I wouldn’t… Read more »

Remember back in the day, like July, when the rage against TUEBL began? While TUEBL is just fine, last week, the angry mob took a civilian casualty: LendInk – a list of lendable books from the kindle store.

Of course, internet pranks aren’t limited to ye ol’ traditional April Fools. And after following the link at the end of the article and putting in my email… Read more »

Today’s post may seem like it doesn’t belong. After all, this blog is normally about fiction, and what follows doesn’t have a damn thing to do with fiction. But this blog also about Pirates. Many people think that Pirates are just about copyright. We’re not. We’re about civil rights. This morning I woke to the chilling image… Read more »

Last week, writer Andrew Hickey posted his thoughts on unprofessionalism in indie writing in a post entitled “Pissing in the Pool or Why Readers Hate Indie Writers.” In sum, the refusal of their authors to aspire to higher quality–in the product, in their writing, in their conduct–gives all indie writers a bad name. “If you… Read more »

Apparently, denying one Pirate Bay Founder a fair trial wasn’t enough. Now, the Swedish courts may very well deny them all a chance to defend themselves. This week Sweden’s Prosecutor General pushed for the Pirate Bay’s case not to go forward to a Supreme Court appeal because: 1) The defendants are clearly guilty and 2) The case… Read more »
